 Here we are along the beautiful James River. This site is one of the most important historic sites in America. It drives a huge part of the economy in this area and people come from all around the world to see where America, as we know it today, got its start. That extraordinary scene experienced by John Smith and everyone else in 1607 will be affected, I think one could say, be destroyed. Dominion is already staging their equipment to build a 3.5 mile power line across the James River. They say, well, there are things along the bank down there that are modern. Those are very small in relative terms within the view and dramatically different from what the transmission line would be. Once something goes across a body of water like this, it's marred forever. For decades and for centuries, we've made decisions to try to protect this area and the thought that we might lose that and not be able to pass it along to my sons is really troubling to me. There's got to be an alternative. I may cost a lot of money, but what is the price of that piece of river? And I think it's just priceless. It is possible to put it under the river. It's an investment in protecting this scenic viewshed and all the environmental resources. If it costs a little more to go under the river, do it. There also was an option of expanding the lines that are currently crossing at the James River Bridge in Newport News. When you weigh up those options, do you really want to destroy a 400-year-old, 1,000-year-old viewshed with these massive towers? We're not arguing that we don't need power. We all use power, we all need power, but we also want to protect our heritage here. Why not have your cake and eat it? We can, I think, do both, and we should do both, and we can't afford not to.
